Non-profit organizations are profitable for staff and secretaries. How many WELS pastors make $80,000 a year, own a huge home, and raise money for the babies? |

I see the Christian Life Resources as a self-perpetuating organization without any control from a responsible church body. Christian Life Resources endorses an organization called Church and Change.
A pastor in my synod was accused of false doctrine for his stated intention of attending the Church and Chanage conference. The objectee also, apparently, said that the Wisconsin Synod has a false doctrine in its synod in Church and Change.
My suggestion is for the ELS to put Christian Life Resources and Church and Change under the microscope and advise the membership of its results.

GJ - Accord to John Brug's book, WELS pastors do not have doctrinal problems, so that ELS charge must be false, slanderous, and a violation of Matthew 18.

Well, I had nearly forgotten about CLR. The ELS promotes this organization and I don't. I think that CLR must be hurting financially because its income is based on the discretionary spending capabilities of its adherents. With discretionary income reduced for individuals by the current economic condition, CLR will probably be experiencing a dip in income. The arguments based by CLR for its own existence are thin and poorly reasoned. The issues presented by CLR and its adherents would bind the consciences of the faithful to a secular and political agenda.
